From Blind Spots to Clear Priorities: MedCrypt's Security Assessment Across 100+ Medical Devices for a Global Top-10 MDM

At a Glance:‍

• Client: Global Top-10 MDM‍

• Challenge: No cohesive view of security posture across 100+ devices‍

• Solution: Enterprise-wide maturity assessment & heat map‍

• Impact: Standardized review cadence, clear remediation priorities

Challenge:

• Over 100 devices across multiple business units

• No way to compare security posture across the portfolio

• Which devices posed the highest risk? Where should resources be allocated first?

• No consistent metrics

Details:

A global Top 10 medical device manufacturer faced a critical visibility gap: with over 100 devices across multiple business units, each team followed their own cybersecurity requirements and assessment processes. This fragmentation created significant blind spots — leadership had no way to compare security posture across the portfolio, identify systemic vulnerabilities, or prioritize remediation investments strategically.

Without a standardized approach, the security team couldn't answer fundamental questions: Which devices posed the highest risk? Where should resources be allocated first? Were newer products actually more secure than legacy devices? The lack of consistent metrics made it impossible to benchmark progress or demonstrate regulatory readiness at the enterprise level.‍

Streamlined Diagnostic Framework:

Medcrypt developed a streamlined 25-question diagnostic rooted in FDA cybersecurity guidance and international standards, designed to assess medical device security posture consistently across diverse device types and development stages. The assessment framework evaluated critical areas including threat modeling, vulnerability management, cryptographic controls, secure development practices, and incident response capabilities.

Portfolio-Wide Heatmap and Remediation Roadmap:

Each device team completed the diagnostic in approximately 10 minutes, providing consistent data points that enabled portfolio-wide analysis. Medcrypt then synthesized these assessments into an executive-ready heat map that visualized security maturity across the entire portfolio, highlighting both high-risk gaps requiring immediate attention and opportunities for standardization. The deliverable included a prioritized remediation roadmap and established a repeatable quarterly assessment cadence to track improvements over time.‍

Medcrypt's enterprise-wide assessment framework transformed fragmented security practices into unified visibility, enabling strategic resource allocation and sustainable governance.

• Transformed security visibility from fragmented to enterprise-wide with a 10-minute diagnostic that delivered consistent, comparable data across 100+ devices regardless of technology platform or development stage

• Enabled data-driven resource allocation through executive heat maps that revealed which devices required immediate remediation, which could serve as security templates, and where standardization would yield the highest ROI

• Established sustainable security governance with quarterly assessment cadence that continues to track maturity improvements, identify emerging risks, and demonstrate regulatory readiness across the evolving portfolio‍
